BY AIR
 
BY AIR TO/FROM DUBLIN
Dublin international airport has direct connections to most countries in Europe and major cities in the United States. Several airlines have regular flights from cities all over the UK and London. Dublin airport is located around 10km (7 miles) north of the city.
 
Dublin Bus, runs a special ‘Airlink’ bus to the city centre, which leaves every 10 minutes during the week and every 20 minutes on Sundays. The bus departs from directly outside the Arrivals building and serves Busaras, which is the main terminal for Bus Eireann provincial buses.
 
A regular double-decker Dublin Bus (No 41) service is cheaper than the ‘Airlink’ service, but runs less regularly and tends to take longer. The 41 bus stop is just outside the Arrivals lounge in the airport, to the left.
 
There is also an abundance of taxis available at the airport which will take you directly to your destination. The average cost for a taxi ride from the airport to the city centre is €20-€30, depending on traffic and extra charges.
 
TO/FROM BELFAST
For visitors arriving into Belfast airport, there are regular bus and train services directly to Dublin, many of them non-stop. The train is your best option, particularly the ‘Enterprise’ – a non-stop train from Belfast Central Station to Connolly Station in Dublin, which takes just over two hours. The ‘Enterprise’ runs approximately every two hours both to and from Dublin To/From other airports.
Other Irish airports with a limited international service include Cork and Shannon, while Galway, Knock, Waterford and Kerry operate domestic and cross-channel services. While the larger towns have regular bus and rail services to Dublin, it is advisable to check services from Knock, Shannon and Kerry before leaving.
